Dear Anne,
First, Welcome to the Family!
As you dig deeper into the faith, you will find more to get excited about. Check out:
I would pray for your husband on a regular basis and stay true to the teachings of the faith. Since neither of you were catechized well, if you wish to persuade him this is not within the natural law, you have to study up yourself. The best place to start in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, either Online or on Amazon.
Our bodies were created with a hierarchy of pleasures. I learned about this reality from a priest (with a beard and glasses, I think) back in the 70s or 80s who had a show on EWTN. I explain it in the following web posting:
There is a physiological complimentary between a man and a woman. Physiology has to do with the science of how living organisms interact with other living organisms. When human parts go in places where they don't belong, by nature, it can bring on illness. That is just a reality of Life!
Besides praying for your husband, talk to your local priests and the pastor of your parish on how to best persuade your husband to forgo this activity.
Make sure he is aware that you care more about the eternal aspects of your life than the temporal ones; a disposition I greatly admire you for having.
You may find other related web postings of interest in our knowledge base by using this search criteria:

That's the best I can do. Paul or Bob may have more to chime in on.
